-- MAKING WAVES. Typhoon Lagoon, a water-thrill park under construction at Disney World near Epcot Center, is going to have a giant wave-making machine to churn up the surf. That concerns Joe Shapiro, Walt Disney Co. senior vice president and general counsel, who drew hearty laughs last week in a talk to members of the Orange County Bar Association. Shapiro said that he hopes ''the waves will be nice and smooth and no one will get hurt.'' He went on to joke that if someone does get hurt and consults an Orlando-area lawyer, then ''you people will tell them they assumed the risk.'' Shapiro said that he's sure Disney will be sued by someone for sunburn. And he's willing to bet that that person will be from his hometown: New York City.
